What I liked
A one-person show is hard to execute well, and the best ones succeed by weaving us through various small narratives that interlock to form the big picture. Destiny has done so very well, and its enhanced by her energy and stage presence. When she breathes, we breathe. When she breaks, we break. And when she decides to rise, something in us collectively does the same. Those are the storytellers I love to see, and Destiny so eloquently takes us into her world using a fun combination of visual elements, poetry, symbolism, and zany manic energy.
But what I liked most is that I ruminated over what I saw and how it made me feel for days. I find that to be powerful and purposeful theater.
What I didn't like
There was so much I enjoyed I’m struggling to find a moment I didn’t. Maybe something with the boxing scene moment could be tweaked… but it’s very minor.
My overall impression
This beautiful, dark and deeply human endeavor was one of the best things I’ve seen during Fringe 2026! Destiny Faith Nelson held the audience in the palm of her hand as she guided us through the parallel moments of connection and disconnection that have every one of us wondering about our place in the world. It was deeply affecting and brilliantly executed.
